Those are great!
The first was a little obscure to an American, but I presume it’s a News of the World poster?

It’s a British poster from WW2, it’s become very popular in recent years.

> Keep Calm and Carry On was a motivational poster produced by the Government of the United Kingdom in 1939 in preparation for World War II. The poster was intended to raise the morale of the British public, threatened with widely predicted mass air attacks on major cities. Although 2.45 million copies were printed, and the Blitz did in fact take place, the poster was only rarely publicly displayed and was little known until a copy was rediscovered in 2000 at Barter Books, a bookshop in Alnwi E...

The series of, ah, more accurate book covers called **Mightygodking versus his adolescent reading habits** :

As far as I’m concerned, mightygodking totally deserves his name.

Back in the 1970s there was a locally sold poster of a “blueprint” of the Gateway Arch that showed the above-ground Arch was merely the corner of a giant coat hanger buried underground. I have searched all over the net trying to find a copy of it, but it must have gone out of print.

Exactly what I was hoping for, thanks. I’m just sorry I never read most of these.

I hung a “sacrifice, temple” poster from [Despair, Inc. - Demotivators®, The World’s Best Demotivational Posters](http://www.despair.com/lithographs.html) over the most heavily used copy machine at work (a ninth-grade only public school). The few other faculty members that got the joke agreed with it. Most people didn’t get it and it stayed there at least three years.

Ah, _Keep Calm and Carry On_, the dullest and least successful of the many _Carry On…_ films.

The National Lampoon had a wonderful bit about “monumental disasters”. My favorite was about the St. Louis Space Needle. It was built too thin in the middle, and toppled over shortly after dedication, the rotating restaurant on top screwing it’s self into the mud. They hastily re-dubbed it the “Gateway Arch” and managed to cover the entire thing up.
